As I'm reflecting on last nights game, this season, and watching the ex-OU stars light it up in the nfl, I am beginning to realize we are overrated.
Look at the talent we have on this team, some really good college players. Broyles, Stills, and the hammer are all NFL stars, IMO. I would guess Fleming and Hurst could be added to that group, and maybe Alexander, but look at the 2008 roster.
These players were on the 2008 team and they all start in the NFL:
Bradford (ROY)
Loadholt
Duke Robinson
Trent Williams
Brody Eldridge
Demarco Murray
Jermaine Gresham
Gerald McCoy
4 of the starting OL from that season are all starters in the league (including the Gresham) as well as the ROY (and first overall pick) and Murray now who owns the franchise rushing record after today. Not to mention Eldridge who was the h-back and lead blocker on a lot of run plays.
Broyles was also on that team and I think we all agree he will be a starter in the NFL before he's done, and add Jon Cooper who is a part-time starter for the Vikings.
We just don't have the studs in the trenches this year and across the board to compete for an NC, IMO.
